It’s a strange thing to say, but one of the truly great dilemmas of the modern world is that there is so much choice, even these days when the credit crunch is making everyone more cost conscious.
You see when you have 10 items to choose from, all as good as each other, it’s at least 10 times as hard to pick one. And when you have to look carefully at the price tag, that’s an added layer of complication.
For anyone who wants a remote control helicopter there’s a very wide choice these days. In fact you can even get started for under £20 if you just want something that’s a bit of fun to play with and easy to fly.
Probably the best choice and value right now is provided by the range of Silverlit Picooz Helicopter range. They seem to know how to make fun, cheap radio control helicopters and their range is very wide and constantly growing.
What’s more important that a good range and a low price is that they’re just plain fun! Give one to a boy - or a man - and watch how they pretend to be ace pilots! You won’t see them for hours because they’ll be so absorbed in ‘flying’ the helicopter.
Best of all, they’re so lightweight they don’t have the heavy crash landings that you gt with the ‘real’ radio control helicopters. So they don’t normally sustain damage the way the big toys do. In other words once you’ve bought one, it should last you a long, long time. Important in today’s economic climate.
So if you’re looking for a fun gift for someone who’s hard to please, don’t overlook the humble radio control helicopter!
